Use of Cookies

The KidsClub.me web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize KidsClub.me pages, or register with KidsClub.me site or services, a cookie helps KidsClub.me to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same KidsClub.me web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the KidsClub.me features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the KidsClub.me services.

Security of your Personal Information

We secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We secure the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information is transmitted to other web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Internal policies and procedures are in place and reviewed regularly to identify and notify of any breaches of these procedures.

Your Rights (GDPR)

You have a number of rights as outlined below. When exercising these rights we will need to validate your identity to ensure the request is from you. This is a security measure to ensure personal data is not disclosed to an unauthorised third party. You may exercise your rights by contacting us via the contact details below.

Right to be informed

Your ‘Right to be Informed’ encompasses the right to be provided with ‘fair processing information’ to ensure transparency over how your personal data is used. This is included in this Privacy Statement. The information provided should be:

• concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible;

• written in clear and plain language, and

• free of charge.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for e.g. marketing purposes. We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise the right at any time by contacting us at info@kidsclub.me.

Right of Access

Right of Rectification

You are entitled to have your personal data corrected if it is inaccurate or completed if incomplete. If the personal data in question has been disclosed to third parties, we will inform them of the rectification where possible and confirm with you which third parties the data has been disclosed to.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request the deletion of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. There are some circumstances where this right may not be met and a request refused e.g. to comply with a legal obligation such as HMRC (see Data Retention below for more details).

Right to Data Portability

The right to data portability allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data. It allows you to move, copy or transfer personal data easily in a safe and secure way, without hindrance to usability.

The right to data portability applies to personal data:

• provided by you;

• where you have provided consent for processing or the processing is for the performance of a contract; and

• when processing is carried out by automated means.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on the performance of a task in the public interest or processing based on a legitimate interest e.g. direct marketing. An objection must be based on your particular circumstances and processing must cease unless there are compelling reasons otherwise e.g. defence of legal a claim.

Rights Relating to Automated Decision Making and Profiling

Data protection legislation provides safeguards for individuals against the risk that a potentially damaging decision is taken solely based on automated processing i.e. without human intervention.

We employ no fully automated processes that result in particular individuals being impacted

Data Retention

We will only retain your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes it was collected for and satisfy any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. For example when you purchase a subscription we need to retain your details for 6 years to satisfy HMRC requirements.
